NANAIMo, May l0.-Last night an ex'
ploriog party penetrated to within 100
wards of the end of the new slope. One
of the party says it was impossible to
90 to the end on account ofthe presence
of large bodies of fre.damp. The party
saw three bodies. two of Chinese and
one of a white man, lying across the
roadway, but they were unable to reach
them. The bodies of fourteen whites
and seven Cinnamon were removed from
No. 5, old slope, but short distance
from those found ON Friday last. They
had evidently been making the best OF
their way out. but were interrupted by
heavy cave from the roof. On top OF
this cave was found the body OF NAL
colin Mclean, who apparently was lead.
ing the party in their effort to reach the
shaft. They and he were ahead OF the
rest of the party who had succumbed to
the deadly choke damp. They were
living in all postures, some on their
hands and knees and Others on their
backs, no doubt in just that position in
which their tottering limbs supported
them in their last efforts.

Cheeser, in his "Vagaries OF A yagrant"
sums up the saivationists in few truthful
words which will doubtless convey better
idea of their material, than columns of
comment thereon.
He says, ''The Salvation Army is COM
posed of body of religious maniacs, buns,

aud loafers of every description. Some
there are among their ranks, no doubt, who
mean well. and fiatter themselves they are

others live upon their credulity, and upon
that of numerous insane sympathisers.
The most notable features that reach us
concerning sthe army are ventilated
through the medium OF the police courts,
it being there where their lunacy and black
guardism is displayed to advantage.
Here in San Francisco we have reason to
be thankful that the army is but small, and
their aboninable practices proportionally
so, nevertheless instances not unfrequently
crop up which show the necessity OF such
thoroughly dissreputable organization be-
ing suppressed; it's existence being danger

Very well doctor, why did you, as one of

was most probably the latter, interfere

yourself from the rest of the machinery?

childish satisfaction commences to RIM
down the same. If you would only be
honest, state your views without attempting
TO throw mud at church which acted
leniently towards you; you would be far
more respected. But, you are not honest.
had you been, you would have left the
church before associating, and plotting
with it's enemies. You can be compared
to nothing more nor less than spy, con.

the same, and sat down.

challenge of the driver, as he of the tight
